To
remain relevant in the fashion world today, you have to keep up with
the trends – which is a lot of hardwork – or define the trends that
others will follow. Styles are changing daily and so are designers on
the rise. Fashion needs passion, sacrifice, effort and particularly
pleasant taste. These are some of the elements that give birth to
successful fashion designers, fashion buyers, stylists and fashion
bloggers. Fashion stars are always ready to spend in order to look
great. I tend to believe that beauty and fashion go hand in hand.
The Urban Dictionary defines a Fashionista: A person devoted to
fashion clothing, particularily unique or high fashion. A person not to
be called a fashionista would be someone who obsessivly follows trends.
REAL fashionistas do not believe in trends. That type of person would be
more correctly labeled a fashion whore or a shallow bitch. Student
#1:”Oh my gosh! Look at that girl wearing those sparkly red mary janes,
black lolita skirt, hello kitty corset, and a top hat with pink hair!”
Student #2″Oh yeah, thats Xenia, she’s a Fashionista.”
In Kenya, there are certain ladies who rarely go unnoticed in the
fashion arena. Image matters in their lives and they go the length to
dress the part. This explains why they make regular appearance in
fashion magazines, pullouts, and entertainment TV.
Let us focus on these beauties in our country that are taking the fashion world by storm and are evidently rocking it!
BRENDA WAIRIMU
This humble beauty has rocked our screens for quite some time now and
is clearly aimed for the stars. She’s been generally on an acting
roller coaster, gracing programs such as Changing Times, Mali, Shuga,
and currently Kona plus splashes on magazines and adverts. Her fashion
sense is delicious and she makes full use of her fine body type. We see
her often in fitting clothes and in maxis once in a while. Her light
complexion complements everything she puts on.
It is definite that her fashion technique is on point and her outfits
always look gorgeous. Her make-up is often minimal and well done, and
her hair – remarkable.
Her fan page on social media is bursting with love from all over, with
thousands of likes and still counting; this is sufficient reason that
her onlookers certainly adore her fashion
HUDDAH MONROE
She is one of the contestants who represented Kenya this year in Big
Brother The Chase – Season 8. She is also a freelance model and recently
acquired the name ‘socialite.’ Despite her loaded status in society,
fashion seems to be one of her utmost priorities. She undoubtedly does
not take chances when it comes to dressing up and looking trendy. She is
comfortable in anything she puts on, since she is content with her
figure, which perfectly complements her. Her hair and makeup is looks on
point all the time. Lately, she has been on a series of lace hair which
is quite pricey, but this expresses that she certainly values her
looks. Overall she always looks cool. Being a socialite, her pages on
social media are also swarmed with fans and this is an indication that
she has the ultimate recipe for her audience.
LILLIAN MULI KANENE
This lady is well known as one of the lovely queens of the news desk.
Arguably, she has aced out many other colleagues on the screens when it
comes to the field of style. She under no circumstances disappoints and
has taken the fashion world by might. Even after the birth of her
child, she continues to look superb.
She is seen to fall in deep love with skirts and dresses, she rarely
does trousers. Nevertheless, she always nails it – her noticeable high
heels, well kempt hair, hip clothing and slight make-up brand her
‘stunning.’ Her closet appears to house outfits that are of exact fit
and of creative designs. Her figure constantly supplements her attire.
NANCIE MWAI
(The Fashion Notebook) – Fashion Blog
Winner of fashion blog of the year for two years in a row, including
this year, Nancie is probably the to-go girl about fashion. Being a
fashion blogger needs full commitment and lots of hard work, plus the
key ingredient – great taste. She is ready for any criticisms, since she
is a risk taker in the industry, experimenting all kinds of designs and
tastes, as fashion is relative.
Nancie is adventurous and is not afraid to try out new hairstyles.
Often, she lets people know how to match some common outfits
differently, how to style hair in several ways and more.
Her appearance is constantly incredible; she is gorgeous and keeps you eager to see more of her every day.
JOY KENDI
(Ourstylekenya) –Fashion Blog
The fashion blogger and actress undoubtedly has an undying affection
for fashion. She was among the nominees for the best fashion blog in the
Bake Awards last year. Browsing through her blog, tells it all. Her
style is tasty and is a pretty good designer too. Her supporters are
always thrilled by her flavour of dress. Having been in the States for a
fairly long time might have contributed to her understanding of
fashion.
I love the fact that she always expresses how one can be very
innovative with clothing, make-up and other accessories through her DIY
(Do-It-Yourself) segments, and also stresses that ladies can look good
without having to spend too much.
She consistently appears dazzling from head to toe, and knows how to
accentuate her curves. Her mode of dressing is very diverse – from
shorts, to minis, to maxis, to leggings…brilliant!
SHARON MUNDIA (ThisisEss)
Sharon was also one of the nominees in the best fashion blog of the
year, which equally places her in the list of the most fashionable
females in Kenya. Sharon has shown keen interest in fashion and her
relatively large following attests to this. She is always pleased to
show the world what she has in her wardrobe and shares her life events
with her fans. Her videos are exciting and informative.
To her, fashion is not only about dressing, it is a lifestyle. She is
quite a narrator, since her blog always has much to say about herself
and any interesting activities in her life. She is indeed attractive
and her figure works in synchrony with all her attire.
VERA SIDIKA
She is the new kid on the block after the release of the ‘You Guy’
video by P – Unit. Since then, she has crossed borders to appear in
other music videos. The model, video girl and business lady has it all –
beauty, elegance and the money. She shops from all over the world. It
is said she recently acquired a hair weave costing as much as
Ksh450,000. Obviously, she does not mind spending in order to look
fabulous, and it certainly pays off.
Her style is appealing and artistic – all colourful, with all her garments drawing attention to her ideal body structure.
